Your trip, expertly planned around your stay

Great accommodation is just the beginning. What truly makes a New Zealand holiday extraordinary is what happens beyond the front door — the sunrise hike you discovered, the hidden restaurant only locals know, the spontaneous jet boat ride that became the story you tell for years.

BCR Stays has partnered with Planit to connect our guests with real human travel experts — Personal Travel Assistants (PTAs) who have actually been to Queenstown, Wanaka, Cromwell, and Christchurch, and know these places intimately.

Your Planit PTA works with you to build a personalised daily itinerary around your BCR Stays booking — completely free of charge.

How It Works

From booking to arrival, your Planit Personal Travel Assistant is with you every step of the way — at no cost to you.

Local expertise at your fingertips

Everything Your PTA Can Do

Your Personal Travel Assistant is your on-the-ground ally — knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in making your trip extraordinary.

Personalised Daily Itineraries

A full, detailed day-by-day plan built around your interests, group size, and pace — from alpine hikes to cellar-door tastings to family-friendly afternoons.

Activity Bookings & Reservations

Your PTA handles the bookings — bungy jumps, ski passes, helicopter flights, wine tours, restaurant tables. No tab-switching, no hunting for phone numbers.

On-Trip Support

Plans change — your PTA is on hand throughout your stay to re-book, recommend, adjust, or fill a spare afternoon with something memorable.

Insider Knowledge & Locals-Only Gems

Been-there insights that go far beyond TripAdvisor — the best sunrise spot in Wanaka, the hidden valley in Cromwell, the Queenstown restaurant that's actually worth the wait.

Exclusive Deals & Partner Discounts

Planit's network of trusted local partners means access to activity discounts, upgrade opportunities, and priority bookings that independent travellers simply can't access.

Family & Group Specialisation

Multi-generational trip? Bucks/hens group? Corporate retreat? Your PTA understands the logistics of group travel and knows exactly what works for every age and interest.

Moments You Wouldn't
Have Thought to Book

Your Planit PTA curates experiences beyond the obvious — private, perfectly timed, and personal to you.

"First time in New Zealand, and we were put onto Planit by our BCR Stays host. We did not look back — bookings and information were great, responses were prompt, and the check-ins throughout the trip were genuinely helpful. They've got your back."
